A national survey of 218 counseling centers was conducted to determine the extent and nature of paraprofessional use. Responses from 119 centers indicated that only 38% employ paraprofessionals. Those programs that do exist tended to be at larger, public institutions. Paraprofessionals were generally salaried, and they functioned in multiple roles. The selection procedure most frequently employed was professional staff interviews with an emphasis on "interpersonal characteristics" as the selection criterion. Training and evaluation procedures were usually conducted on an ongoing rather than on a "one-shot" basis. Reasons for not employing paraprofessionals varied considerably from center to center.
对218个咨询中心进行了一项全国性调查，以确定辅助专业人员的使用程度和性质。119个中心的回复表明，只有38%的中心雇佣辅助专业人员。那些确实存在的项目往往位于规模较大的公立机构。辅助专业人员通常有薪水，并且履行多种职责。最常采用的选拔程序是专业人员面试，重点是将“人际特征”作为选拔标准。培训和评估程序通常是持续进行的，而不是“一次性”的。不雇佣辅助专业人员的原因在不同中心之间差异很大。
